Raising Wrestling Skill

Hi everyone, i used to play UO a long long time ago, maybe 8-10 years ago, I recently came back because I really did miss it, but I remember me and all my friends used to summon creatures and elementals etc to gain combat skills like wrestling (we did this in our guild house), can this no longer be done ? If not, is it only gained out in the wilderness now against non summoned creatures ?

Plenty of ways to train it, still.
I know some people swear by summoned daemons.
Although, with the recent change in follower behaviour, the methods are slightly different. Still possible, but I'm not 100% sure how.

You do need to fight creatures with a similar combat skill to you (+/-10 is about the bracket, I think).

Ok, well I summoned a couple of creatures, an Alligator and a Panther I believe, and when we wrestled blood came off us both, but neither lost any health and I got no skill gains, despite my wrestling being only at 30 skill
